I do. However, hifi gear is not in my world right now. I’m rocking some Yamaha gear at home, and a Harmon Kardon stack sounds awesome. Love my Yamaha. Warm sound. Nice tactile feel.
Anyway… I’m daydreaming audio gear. Back to work!

Can we actually talk about that Techniks M205? Now that is a collectible.
- Comment on There are growing calls for the Australian government to end a perverse incentive pushing Aussies to embrace oversized utes and trucks 1 week ago:
I tow a caravan around Australia full time. I work from the van. Live in it.
I have what is now considered a very small 4wd. It’s older, small by today’s standards, and it’s insanely capable.
The new 4wds are all trying to copy the American mega utes. Because “i haven’t grown up yet” men (by and large) think these things are 'just awesome".
If it wasn’t such a concern, it would be comical.
But, these emotionally backward guys think they are big boys now (I’M A BIG BOY MUMMY!!!) and because of that, and the copycat marketing that the Japanese, and now, Chinese brands are bringing, the only way out is through regulation.
They are NOT needed. Again, I live full time towing, and everything these emotionally removed fanboys tell you is utter tripe.
They just want a big boy truck. So they can pretend they too, are big boys.
Bless their cotton socks.

I often buy a game in steam, then think “I didn’t check GOG!!!”.

Gotta get in the habit of checking GOG

- Comment on Looking for a local co-op game to play with my SO (Steam Deck) 4 weeks ago:
The whole series is great. But two Crowns is multi player. But, thinking, might only be split screen on one device?

Check out Kingdom Two Crowns. Absolutely brilliant

The title is false. Here is a copy-pasta:
“Permanent residents in Australia who use their overseas licence on Aussie roads…”
- Comment on NSW National Parks seeking feedback on proposed changes re. camping fees and bookings 1 month ago:
NSW campsites by memory were double QLD prices in places. It felt incredibly expensive. I don’t recall fully, but man, in comparison son QLD it felt a bit of a rip.
They want to lift it even more now?

I just want to thank you for this.
It sent me down a rabbit hole. I’ve come out with such confidence, from the knowledge I’ve acquired.

Thanks again, for such am incredible contribution to society.
I’ve shared your post with many people, in the hope it helps them also.

Guess I’m voting for the gay guy now. Thanks rednecks.
I am joking of course. Policy, and voting history for me.

- Comment on OMV remote access 2 months ago:
I have used OMV for years. Great system.
I remote in using zeroTier.
It’s installed on the OMV server, and I have it on all my devices.
That puts all my devices on a virtual “local network” so I can explore my shared folders, log into the OMV admin panel, etc, anywhere in the world.
Has been working beautifully for me, for years.
I hope that helps.

Got a retroid locket 5.
Wish I’d done it years ago. Never had more accessible gaming.
And not just retro titles. Stardew Valley, modern metroidvanias, etc are amazing on it.
- Comment on Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for iOS shuts down over "unfixable bug" 3 months ago:
Definitely. I’ve written some small games. Gave them away free on the play store.
Lasted about 3 years tops before they were removed for not supporting X, Y and Z new features.
Shame. One of them had tens of thousands of downloads.
